AB  - This paper describes the development of a graduate course (6000 level) in Usability Engineering that is offered in the Department of Industrial and Entrepreneurial Engineering and Engineering Management at a national university. The paper also includes assessment of the course content by faculty and students. The course is offered as an elective to graduate students enrolled in the Industrial Engineering Program, Engineering Management Program and Biomedical Engineering Program. The course is designed to provide an introduction on Human Factors followed by comprehensive instructions on Usability Engineering. A unique aspect of the course is integrating research studies as part of the instructional method. During each class meeting, the instructor led a review session to discuss several research papers that students read. The aim of the discussion is to learn how to conduct research to test usability of products or systems in different areas and application. This is allowing students to learn the direct application of usability in their area of specialization given the diverse educational background of students enrolled in the class. As part of the course assessment, students are asked to prepare a usability portfolio that will serve as a body of knowledge on usability testing to help them conduct usability studies in their career. Students are also required to follow the scientific research method to conduct a course project. Students participated enthusiastically in the research discussions and demonstrated mastery of understating, critiquing and producing research.
